REPORT OF GEN, W. s. RosECnANs.

Before consenting to render your enterprise
such assistance as my limited time and cir
cumstances will permit, / carefully looked
over what your records and papers showed
concerning the property of your company.
|. That your two contiguous claims, 800 feet
long and GOO feet wide each, have groupings OF
a vein of gold.bearlng quartz visible at the
surface for most Of their length, besides nu-
merous email strlngers of the same kind of
quartz adjacent thereto and interecLlng the
main vein.
2. That at some twenty or thirty points on
the vein, indicated on Cunningham's map,
prepared under my directions, openings and
sinkings have been made, in all of which
specimens and in many rich samples, OF gold
have been found in the quartz, which seems
to vary from FIVE to ten inches In thickness.
Some of these openings are cut from three 10
fourteen feet deep, and on the north end of
Ellen Jane is an incline lS2 feet deep, North
ward on The "Ionmanotta' 400 feet are two
shafts, one 10 feet and the other iS feet deep.
Within the next hundred feet north are one Il
feet and one 90 feet deep,
3. out OF all these openings end shafts VEN
matter ard quartz have been taken, aud o. the
quartz some nave been selected for specimens,
giving the large assays mentioned in Nj. Cum
ninghRm's letter, aud samples, assays OF which
are also therein set forth.
Finally, selections from the ore thus eN-
tTRCted have been made, showing in "LGdouX
and Ricketts, Assay OliCe Report of thirty
seven round sample At the rate of e2,6jl. 90 per
ton. Navy PaymaSter Bartons letter states
that six tons selected as above stated averaged

BUSINESS STATEMENT.

The Company has recently had five tons OF
ore, nom v Nhich hAd been carefully Culled all
specimens showing tree gold, millgd by the
Wiswell Electric Mining and Milling Company
of Boston This was purely refuse ore. The
results how that even the refuse ore OF this
mine can he mined and milled At profit OF
over cooper cent,
The mint al Philadelphia determined me
value Of aud 9-lLO ounces Of bullion from
this run to be $500.
The Company, being so well satisfied by
these and numerous other strictly reliable
tests Of the richness Of this mine they have
purchased u Wiswell sOton crushing mill with
engine, boiler, ana all necessary tools and ap,
pliGnCos for successfully working the mine on
n liberal scale, These win be on the ground ~
the mine within the next thirty days, and It Is
confidently expected that the plant will be In
lull operation within ninety days thereafter
with every plomile II dividend on the shares
early in the LcXt winter. The mill can be
run every day in the year.
such Is the confidence Of mining men in this
mire that shares ore already selling AT PAR to

CUNNINGuAM's REPORT.

The property comprises two mineg, called
the Ellen Jane and the TOmmanotta reSpec-
lively.
The company has developed both these mines
as follows A shaft having been sunk to tho
depth of Is feet on the IommNnOlta aud one
to The depth OF 1872 feet on the Ellen Jane, with
levels running parallel with The vein 80 feet
below the surface aud on tho vein northeast
and southwest, The properties are very Hat
teTing, rs will be seen by the reports of experts
and 0fsGys. There Is now no doubt that this
Will he n ilrstrlaEs paying property.
The Ellen Jane is situated on the southeast
extremity OF tho Music Mountain range, dl-
mensOnS COO feet in width by 1890 feet in
length has one Shalt 1872 feet decp aud sew
eral open cuts, Hll of which show pay ore, The
Tommanutta Is an extension Of the Ellen
Jarc.
This mine has also been partially developed
by a SHAFT Go feet aud several OF lesser depths,
veins on both properties crop bold aud strong,
and there is no reason to doubt that Il very
large aud rich ore body lays not far beneath
the depth now reached, which Is also the
opinion of the best experts and miners who
have been on the property.
Water has been the great drawback TO the
developing Of mines in this mnge but that mas
now been set at rest, nSwatcr was found in the
Ellen Jane shaft at the depth of 100 feet, and
growing stronger as depth Is obtained, aud in
n short time a sinking pump will be required
to keep the mine free.
The ore has continued to the bottom Of shaft,
increasing in width ana richness.
In conclusion, would state that these veins
are true ilssuTes and have no doubt the best
mineral belt in Arizona.

Scrlbner's Buttarine,

This is the name by which this article has
become known to Washingtonsns. Mr..
Scribner started the sale Of butterine in the
face Of the strongest possible prejuiice
against a manufactured substitute tor
butter, and 1t is but justice to say that the
only means he has used to introduce and
push It's sale has been by scrupulously
maintaining the standard, which, at the
outstart, is vast improvement upon the
ordinary and cheap grades OF butter, both
In point Of wbolesomeness, aud sustained
quality. There have been times when the
cost of manufacture and changes In the
market have made 1t necessary for him to
make notifications 10 price; but at no
time, or under any circumstances, has ne
permitted any alteration in the grade OF the
butterine he has offered. Aside from its
recommendations Of quslity 1t is much
cheaper than cheap butter, and slowly, bat
surely, the heavy consumers OF tho table
and cooking article are finding that no
claims made for butterne are uurealizad
whsn tested. Butterine is ~ cents pound.
Ordinary butter Is worth about 3j cents q
pound; that is, they ask that for It, W..
G. seribper is the only agent for bu,terine,
and he has stalls In the Center, Northern
Liberty, and Eastern markets.
